Subject: Re: LG45 / LG6 strange engine number
Perhaps it was a "float" engine held in the stores and quickly shoved into the LG6 under guarantee when the original engine went wrong. So of course it would not have been allocated a chassis number and could have been in the stores for some time. Also, as a float engine perhaps it had been previously upgraded from S3 to S4.
I am not sure the difference between S3 and S4 and would the owner have known anyway if he got his car back quickly running sweetly again?
Arnold Davey and I have had some most enjoyable discussions about what went on along the same lines with busses at London Transport's Aldenham works.
With London busses, the most extreme example of this occurred during the war with "frozen" and "unfrozen" bodies but that story will have to keep for another time.
